No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse; and will you be kept safe?

מַלְכֵ֥י mal.Khei “[the] kings of”

Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the town of Sepharvaim, of Hena and of Ivvah?

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”וּמֶ֣לֶךְ (מֶ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “[the] king of”וּמֶ֖לֶךְ (מֶ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste the nations and their lands,

Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer which you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

לְמַלְכֵ֥י (מַלְכֵ֥י) mal.Khei “[the] kings of”

He put up again the high places which had been pulled down by Hezekiah his father; he made altars for Baal, and an Asherah, as Ahab, king of Israel, had done; he was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all he did, and his sins, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

לְמַלְכֵ֥י (מַלְכֵ֥י) mal.Khei “[the] kings of”

And the servants of Amon made a secret design against him, and put the king to death in his house.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Now the rest of the acts which Amon did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

לְמַלְכֵ֥י (מַלְכֵ֥י) mal.Khei “[the] kings of”

Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,

לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַ֠מֶּלֶךְ (מֶּלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then, after reading it, Shaphan the scribe went in to the king and gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants have given out the money which was in the house, and have given it to the overseers of the work of the house of the Lord.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.

לַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ (מֶּ֡לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even everything which the king of Judah has been reading in the book;

מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: As to the words which have come to your ears,

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

For this cause I will let you go to your fathers and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place. So they took this news back to the king.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”
